Suspension GT/ST, Compatibility Options

[tekbro]

I'm still looking for suspension parts for my 1995 Celica GT (non ABS, w/o sport package). I think I found someplace local that has the parts, but they're from a 1994 Celica ST. I guess what I need to know is, are the suspension parts on the rear of a Celica ST and GT completely swappable? They certainly LOOK the same, and it would make sense to make them the same parts from a manufacturing standpoint, but one can't be too careful. Any ideas?

Thx,

Tekbro

The stock suspension systems of the two cars are the same. The GT and the ST share the same independent MacPherson strut suspension up front and the same dual-link independent MacPherson strut suspension in back. Both models have the same power rack and pinion steering system. The GT hatchback does has the option of having the Sports Package on it, which utilizes special shock absorbers with two-stage valves, which give the car better dampening force for better handling stability. The Sports Package is not available on the ST model

Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like I should've seached the forums more diligently! I'm not sure how I missed that thread. Its a very useful article in other respects as well.

Holy Compatible Parts!
Thanks, Batman!
